Shabu Shabu is our special date night meal. We like to seak it out wherever we travel to. We really enjoyed our meal here, portions (ordered large meat) were good and ingredients were fresh. This is the first Shabu Shabu I have visited that did not have bok choy and that's my favorite veggie I was disappointed. But they have all the other ingredients, excellent broths and variety of sauces, even egg for dipping. We ate here on a busy Saturday night, it felt like a cafeteria with how the business is run, very efficient but no ambiance for the cost of the meal.

Definitely the best shabu we’ve had in the state! Traditional Japanese style which you seat around the counter with a small pot for each person. The meat is cut to order with reasonable price. Flexible to order all kind of sizes. The hosts are super sweet. Been here multiple times and will definitely come back!

Clean and artsy place, friendly and attentive staff. Great food, no complaints.Dietary restrictions: I eat gluten free (cross contamination is not safe by nature, do not go if you have celiacs). I was able to put my own seasoning into the pot (soup base and broth options are NOT gluten free) and they provided gluten-free soy sauce for me. I felt decently accommodated, wish they had a GF soup base but everything else was fine for me.

Shabu comes with unlimited meat in everywhere that's the reason you pay high price for all meal and menu is tricky for new people no one tells you that important part. You pay extra for getting different type of meats, getting soup or appetizers. If the price for each plate of meat very high price for okay quality meat. I needed to spend over $110 to get full. Spending that much i would probably get fine dining in most of the high end restaurants so overall terrible experience. Food is okay not gonna lie but it's not also the best one like merchant pretending. Go to Oishi or Shabuya for 5 times better experince.

If I could give 0 I would. The price does not compare to the quality. Would rather go to a fancy dine out for the price that I paid. Not worth it. Better shabu restaurants.
